Green cucumber/melon type that Italians favor, Melon Cucumber. Grown since Roman times, this vigorous, round cucumber variety is once again popular. Makes nice round slices. Similar to 1/2 long of Puglia, except this one is completely round. covered with 'down' typical of this type. Pick when green and it has a really nice cucumber taste; allow to ripen more and they turn yellow and a bit sweeter. 

Early, productive, very nice taste.  Sow 5-6 seeds/hill spaced 4" apart after soil is warm in the spring (a week or two after last frost date).  Thin to 3 plants per hill.  Space hills at three feet and rows at six feet.  55 days.
